The activity of an animal is an important factor when it comes to choosing the appropriate feed. Four-legged friends that move around a lot require more energy to maintain their weight than a relaxed family dog. Likewise, dogs which are out and about “professionally” – police dogs and guide dogs, and also hunting dogs - have particular dietary requirements.

Breed and age often also have an influence on activity: young dogs and small breeds move around a lot, while activity gen - erally declines with age. How the dog is kept is also impor - tant: animals kept outdoors generally require more energy than their counterparts who live indoors. Especially when it’s cold and frosty outside.

The importance of optimal nutrition becomes particularly clear when mistakes occur in the diet. It can result in liver and kid - ney issues, diarrhoea, a dull coat and skin problems. Fortu - nately, nutrient deficiencies are no longer an issue for most dogs. Overfeeding or inappropriate feeding can be almost as worrying and much more common today, for example with a food that is too rich in energy or ex - cessive food quantities.

As a rule of thumb: choose a food that suits the energy needs of your dog and make a note of the feeding recommendations. 2 figures are particularly important for optimal nutrition: digestible raw protein and digestible energy.
